   Project management, sales, customer service and office management are a few off the top of my head.

   Hi Robin, I've found that executive assistants can find fulfillment in program coordinator for non-profits organizations. Good luck in your search of a fulfilling job!

   Start with your interests, where you place value and what you consider fulfillment. Then look for nonprofits, charities and businesses that play in that cross section. That's your sweet spot.

   I switched to Project Management but it’s not for me. I chose it because it seemed like the easiest transition.

   Hi Robin,

   I have had the privilege to informally peer mentor several EAs with whom I overlapped during the early years of my career in the field of economics.

   Although I am not a career coach, I am happy to share high-level anecdotal pointers and help you brainstorm ideas on jobs based on your marketable transferable skills. For this, it would be helpful if you could please provide some context, such as:

   - Industry

   - Number of years as an EA

   - Subject matter specialties

   - Certifications

   - Educational background

   - Value Proposition

   o Hard skills

   o Soft skills

   This is a great question that I also ask myself, often I have been and EA for 10 years and ready to do something different. I love the support function of my job, but with being close to retirement, I really want to come in, help my team and go home. That's it, that's all. Looking forward to the responses here!

   One of my close friends was an EA at Amazon for years, and transitioned to project management (she's at Microsoft now). A lot of soft skill overlap there - people management, conflict resolution, organization, etc.

   Hi! I was an admin for almost 20 years and moved into Program Management.

   Look into Program and Project Management to get a deeper understanding of both. Also, if there are people in these roles are your current employer, ask to set up time to meet with them and learn what they do and compare your skills.

   Admin and PM have many transferable skills! Good luck.

    Živjo vsem! Delam v izmenah in včasih pridem domov pozno ponoči. V takih trenutkih si zaželim miru in tišine. Nekega večera sem poskusil Vegashero https://vegas-hero.si/ Igra je bila nevsiljiva in mirna. Sredi te objave bom iskren: vredno je poskusiti, da se sprostite po napornem dnevu. Tudi brez sreče postopek ni stresen. Na koncu sem dobil točno to, kar sem si želel. Priporočam.

    Hey, dein Beitrag über die Suche nach erfüllenderen Jobs hat mich echt nachdenken lassen, wie ich selbst nach einem langen Arbeitstag etwas Spannendes machen kann. Zufällig bin ich auf https://spino-gambinos.com/de-de gestoßen und habe es ausprobiert. Anfangs hatte ich ein paar kleine Verluste, aber dann kam eine richtig gute Gewinnserie, und die speziellen Bonusaktionen für Spieler in Deutschland haben das Ganze noch interessanter gemacht. So konnte ich den Kopf frei bekommen und den Tag entspannt ausklingen lassen.
